‘Emergency preamble. Whereas,  acts and resolves of the Legislature do not become effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as emergencies; and

Whereas,  this legislation authorizes the Commissioner of Corrections to transfer an adult jail inmate to a correctional facility for the purpose of providing the inmate with mental health services, and to accept placement of certain adult defendants in a mental health unit of a correctional facility; and

Whereas,  it is critically important to implement this authority as soon as possible in order to increase the availability of mental health services; and

Whereas,  in the judgment of the Legislature, these facts create an emergency within the meaning of the Constitution of Maine and require the following legislation as immediately necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health and safety; now, therefore,

Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:

Sec. 1. 15 MRSA §101-D, sub-§5,  as amended by PL 2013, c. 265, §2, is further amended to read:

5. Finding of incompetence; custody; bail.  If, after hearing upon motion of the attorney for the defendant or upon the court's own motion, the court finds that any defendant is incompetent to stand trial, the court shall continue the case until such time as the defendant is determined by the court to be competent to stand trial and may either:
A. Commit the defendant to the custody of the Commissioner of Health and Human Services for appropriate placement in an appropriate program for observation, care and treatment of people with mental illness or persons with intellectual disabilities or autism. An appropriate program may be in an institution for the care and treatment of people with mental illness, an appropriate residential program that provides care and treatment for persons who have intellectual disabilities or autism, an intermediate care facility for persons who have intellectual disabilities or autism, a crisis stabilization unit, a nursing home, a residential care facility, an assisted living facility, a hospice, a hospital , an intensive outpatient treatment program or any living situation program specifically approved by the court. At the end of 30 days or sooner, and again in the event of recommitment, at the end of 60 days and 180 days, the State Forensic Service or other appropriate office of the Department of Health and Human Services shall forward a report to the Commissioner of Health and Human Services relative to the defendant's competence to stand trial and its reasons. The Commissioner of Health and Human Services shall without delay file the report with the court having jurisdiction of the case. The court shall hold a hearing on the question of the defendant's competence to stand trial and receive all relevant testimony bearing on the question. If the State Forensic Service's report or the report of another appropriate office of the Department of Health and Human Services to the court states that the defendant is either now competent or not restorable, the court shall within 30 days hold a hearing. If the court determines that the defendant is not competent to stand trial, but there does exist a substantial probability that the defendant will be competent to stand trial in the foreseeable future, the court shall recommit the defendant to the custody of the Commissioner of Health and Human Services for appropriate placement in an appropriate program for observation, care and treatment of people with mental illness or persons with intellectual disabilities or autism. An appropriate program may be in an institution for the care and treatment of people with mental illness, an appropriate residential program that provides care and treatment for persons who have intellectual disabilities or autism, an intermediate care facility for persons who have intellectual disabilities or autism, a crisis stabilization unit, a nursing home, a residential care facility, an assisted living facility, a hospice, a hospital , an intensive outpatient treatment program or any living situation program specifically approved by the court. When a person who has been evaluated on behalf of the court by the State Forensic Service or other appropriate office of the Department of Health and Human Services is committed into the custody of the Commissioner of Health and Human Services under this paragraph, the court shall order that the State Forensic Service or other appropriate office of the Department of Health and Human Services share any information that it has collected or generated with respect to the person with the institution or residential program in which the person is placed. If the defendant is charged with an offense under Title 17-A, chapter 9, 11 or 13 or Title 17-A, section 506-A, 802 or 803-A and the court determines that the defendant is not competent to stand trial and there does not exist a substantial probability that the defendant can be competent in the foreseeable future, the court shall dismiss all charges against the defendant and, unless the defendant is subject to an undischarged term of imprisonment, order the Commissioner of Health and Human Services to commence proceedings pursuant to Title 34-B, chapter 3, subchapter 4. If the defendant is charged with an offense other than an offense under Title 17-A, chapter 9, 11 or 13 or Title 17-A, section 506-A, 802 or 803-A and the court determines that the defendant is not competent to stand trial and there does not exist a substantial probability that the defendant can be competent in the foreseeable future, the court shall dismiss all charges against the defendant and, unless the defendant is subject to an undischarged term of imprisonment, notify the appropriate authorities who may institute civil commitment proceedings for the individual. If the defendant is subject to an undischarged term of imprisonment, the court shall order the defendant into execution of that sentence and the correctional facility to which the defendant must be transported shall execute the court's order; or
B. Issue a bail order in accordance with chapter 105-A, with or without the further order that the defendant undergo observation at an institution for the care and treatment of people with mental illness, an appropriate residential program that provides care and treatment for persons who have intellectual disabilities or autism, an intermediate care facility for persons who have intellectual disabilities or autism, a crisis stabilization unit, a nursing home, a residential care facility, an assisted living facility, a hospice, a hospital approved by the Department of Health and Human Services or an intensive outpatient treatment program or a living situation any program specifically approved by the court or by arrangement with a private psychiatrist or licensed clinical psychologist and treatment when it is determined appropriate by the State Forensic Service. When outpatient observation and treatment is ordered an examination must take place within 45 days of the court's order and the State Forensic Service shall file its report of that examination within 60 days of the court's order. The State Forensic Service's report to the court must contain the opinion of the State Forensic Service concerning the defendant's competency to stand trial and its reasons. The court shall without delay set a date for and hold a hearing on the question of the defendant's competence to stand trial, which must be held pursuant to and consistent with the standards set out in paragraph A.

For purposes of this subsection, "intensive mental health care and treatment" means daily on-site psychiatric treatment services, daily on-site group and individual mental health treatment and other therapeutic programs and 24-hour on-call psychiatric coverage and includes, as authorized in accordance with this section, the ability to order and administer involuntary medication for treatment purposes.

2.  Rights prior to involuntary medication.   Except as provided in this section, a person who is the subject of an application for an order permitting involuntary medication pursuant to this section must be provided, before being medicated, a court hearing at which the person has the following rights.

An application for the ex parte order must include all the information otherwise required under this section, as well as the specific factual basis for the belief that the likelihood of serious harm is imminent. The ex parte order and the application for the ex parte order, the proceeding, any record of the proceeding and all notes, exhibits and other evidence are confidential. If the court enters an ex parte order permitting involuntary medication, a hearing conforming with the requirements of subsections 2 and 3 must be held within 10 days.
5.  Court order.   If the Superior Court finds by clear and convincing evidence that each of the grounds set out in subsection 1 has been met, the court may grant the application for involuntary medication, as requested or as may be modified based upon the evidence, and may authorize the correctional facility's chief administrative officer to permit qualified health care staff to order and administer medication for treatment of the mental illness, as well as laboratory testing and medication for the monitoring and management of side effects.

Sec. 5. 34-A MRSA §3069-A  is enacted to read:

§ 3069-A.  Transfer of jail inmates for mental health services

1.  Eligible inmates.   The commissioner may transfer from a jail to a correctional facility an adult inmate who the chief administrative officer of the Riverview Psychiatric Center confirms is eligible for admission to a state mental health institute under Title 34-B, section 3863, but for whom no suitable bed is available, for the purpose of providing to the inmate mental health services in a mental health unit of a correctional facility that provides intensive mental health care and treatment. The commissioner may not transfer pursuant to this section a person who has been found not criminally responsible by reason of insanity. The commissioner may return an inmate transferred pursuant to this subsection back to the sending facility.

For purposes of this subsection, "intensive mental health care and treatment" has the same meaning as in section 3049, subsection 1.

2.  Evaluation.   The commissioner may transfer from a jail to a correctional facility an adult inmate whom the court orders to be examined or further evaluated by the State Forensic Service under Title 15, section 101-D, subsection 1, 2, 3 or 9 if the State Forensic Service determines that the jail where the inmate is incarcerated cannot provide an appropriate setting for the examination but that a mental health unit in a correctional facility can provide an appropriate setting for the examination. The commissioner shall return an inmate transferred pursuant to this subsection back to the sending facility upon the completion of the examination ordered, including any further evaluation ordered, unless the commissioner transferred the inmate for another reason in addition to the examination.
3.  Disclosure of information.   With respect to an adult inmate who has previously been hospitalized under Title 34-B, chapter 3, subchapter 4, the commissioner may make it a prerequisite to a transfer of the inmate under this section that necessary information be disclosed to the department pursuant to Title 34-B, section 1207, subsection 1, paragraph B.
4.  Application of other laws.   All other applicable provisions of law governing inmates, whether detained pending a trial or other court proceeding or sentenced, apply to inmates transferred under this section.

6.  Repeal.   This section is repealed August 1, 2017.

Sec. 6. 34-A MRSA §3069-B  is enacted to read:

A.  The defendant is a person with mental illness and, as a result of the defendant's mental illness, the defendant poses a likelihood of serious harm to others;
B.  There is not sufficient security at a state mental health institute to address the likelihood of serious harm; and

3.  Disclosure of information.   With respect to an adult defendant who has previously been hospitalized under Title 34-B, chapter 3, subchapter 4, the commissioner may make it a prerequisite to accepting placement of the defendant under this section that necessary information be disclosed to the department pursuant to Title 34-B, section 1207, subsection 1, paragraph B.
4.  Application of other laws.   All other applicable provisions of law governing defendants committed for observation apply to defendants accepted for placement under this section.
5.  Discretion.   Nothing in this section or in any other provision of law requires the commissioner to accept the placement of a defendant who is committed for observation.
6.  Repeal.   This section is repealed August 1, 2017.
